Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Original Floater F6, 3/32oz S (Silver) fishing lure #10923

A distinctive "S" (Silver) foil finish with a fine scale-like texture defines the aesthetic of this Finnish-made classic. Hand-crafted from buoyant balsa wood, this 2 1/4" (6 cm) minnow follows the iconic design pioneered by Lauri Rapala in the 1930s. The clear diving lip is stamped with "Rapala Finland" and allows the lure to reach a depth of 2-6 ft (0.6 - 1.8 m) whether casting or trolling. Weighing 3/32 oz (3 g), the lure is equipped with two dark treble hooks and features the signature yellow eyes with black pupils. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 10923, remains in top-tier condition, meriting a 5/5 rating. Anglers typically work this balsa body with a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go motion to target freshwater species.
